In the 51st minute of the Portugal-Uruguay matchup at the FIFA World Cup on Monday, a man toting a rainbow flag ran onto the pitch, bringing the game to a temporary halt. The man was wearing a Superman shirt with the words “Save Ukraine” emblazoned on the front and “Respect for Iranian Woman” on the back.
The FIFA global television feed of the game at Lusail Iconic Stadium in Qatar did not capture the moment, but crowd members’ pictures and footage of him running, with security officials in hot pursuit, quickly flooded social media. The man was escorted off the field, with an Iranian referee, Alireza Faghani, eventually retrieving the dropped flag. The match resumed, and Portugal went on to win 2-0.
